Re: Compass TracX FBL Unit

bavarian DEMON users need to read this warning issued today from Bavarian!



Attention: A bug has been discovered in the X-series firmware (affecting 3X and 3SX systems). If using "PPM (Sum-PWM)" or "Spektrum/JR Sat" option as receiver connection, "Output 2" selected to "blank" and at the same time it is selected as channel '0' in the left function-channel-table, the system will feed a corrupt throttle out signal to anything plugged into the throttle channel (usually the ESC or throttle servo). Any throttle value over roughly 80% turns into an erratic signal.
This can cause throttle surges and potentially motor shut downs.
We are working on a firmware that fixes the bug. This will be available soon.
The current and safe sulution is: make sure that whilst not using Output 2 and set to channel '0' (deactivated, factory default), that you do not set the failsafe option for this channel to 'blank', but leave it at factory default too, which is 'hold'.
Besides this the system is absolutely safe to use.

Cheers Keith

Keith I'm going to copy and paste this to my 3SX thread. Ok.

Thanks for the heads up.
